    I am thinking about switching to a 7200 rpm travelstar, but I am wondering if there is any discernible difference in battery life in comparison to the 4200rpm that came stock with my FZ.

    I know that there will be a difference, is it 5-10 minutes or 30 minutes less battery time?

    It's very small and definitely not worth the speed sacrifice.
